On April 1, the sport management department hosted the third annual National High School Sport Business Case Competition. Through this competition, six final high school student teams compete against each other in a sport business case. This year, student teams were challenged to use emerging AI technology to create a hypothetical sport package for the Philadelphia Flyers. During their 15-minute presentations, the teams used their ingenuity to pitch ideas like a new Flyers app or integrating virtual reality goggles into the Flyers fans experience. Following their presentations, the teams answered questions from the judging panel, which included Flyers marketing team members. Prior to the final round in de Francesco, high school students were invited to an opening ceremony at the Wells Fargo center on March 31, where they toured the facilities and watched a Flyers game. Before then, the high school students competed in two rounds of the competition to secure their finalist spots. The first-place winners were students from Eastern York High School, earning $1000 for the four students. The second-place winners were students from North Penn High School, and Milton Hershey School received third place. All students received participant certificates.
